This girl, what can I say? She is a little terror!
The Hubs always says that in our house, there is the Thinker and there is the Enforcer. Who do you think is whom? Well, T2 is definitely the Enforcer because whenever she SCREAMS, her scream is SO LOUD and SHRILL that everyone bows to her commands. Her voice when screaming is painful to the ears thus it is easier to just give her what she wants than to fight with her. We choose our battles obviously, as she absolutely cannot get everything that she wants. But man…..she is a nightmare child. Nightmare sister too as T1 would attest.
T2 is going through the Terrible Two’s right now and I never understood the term till now. T1 was only a mild version of the TT’s. Add that in to her name and you have a triple T! Super power! Blows us out.
T2 is now 2.5 years old (a little more once this post comes out) and she is although the most horrific toddler, the cutest thing on this planet. Her voice (when not screaming) is cute but the sentences that come out of her baby mouth is even cuter. She is bossy, darn bossy – the bossy genes come from my Mom. She just orders people around and people fall to her command.
She is fearless, always ready to try something new that involves touching, climbing, jumping, throwing and anything physical – even if it means being sent to hospital with stitches. She likes exploring new things and new ways of doing things, as any toddler does.
She is completely unadventurous when it comes to food. She only wants to eat what she knows and when offered new food, she would check her sister’s expressions first before she decides if she wants to go near ANY new food. And usually, she politely declines. But if you offer her it the third time after she declines, she starts yelling at you! You have been warned.
She can dance and sing quite well, has pitch and rhythm and is very curious about the world. She never fails to ask questions and the WHY’s have turned into Mama answering …..because the sky is so high! But it backfires, of course, because the next time you ask her why she hasn’t finished her milk, it is because the sky is so high, followed by a high pitched snigger. She even sings, 1-2-3-4-5 Once I caught a fish alive, 6-7-8-9-10 then I let it go again, Why did you let it go? Because the sky is so high!.………*knocks head*
She has a very cheeky face and demeanour, she’s always up to tricks and cracks us up to no end. A born comedian, she must just learn it all from her sister. She doesn’t like smiling. Nuh-uh. She loves looking like she’s about to beat you up. It’s a warning not to mess with her. But if you can get beyond that with a little bribery (hint: chocolates on a good day may work), you might be lucky enough to catch a smile………….
Recently, she has started fighting with her sister with words. When her sister said in exasperation, “You’re such a nightmare, T2!”, T2 retorted, “YOU NIGHTMARE!!@!@*!!”. So Uncle Ben had a plan and advised T1 to play reverse psychology and call her clever instead. The first time, T2 kept quiet. But when provoked, she shouted back to T1, “No, YOU CLEVER!!!@!!*!!” Haha….
She’s just a little MAFIA on two legs. It’s her way or the high way. You’d think she was the sweetest little angel just by looking at her but she is the perfect example of a hot, spicy chilli padi. Despite being half the height and half the size of her sister, she can win her sister hands down in any battle. And to be quite honest, she can win with most people.
I pray every night that she doesn’t get bashed up by someone whose line she crosses and hope this is just a toddler phase. The Terrible Twos and T2.

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
